Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 22, 1908.

Application filed March 19, 1908. Serial No. 422,114.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILBUR EUGENE.

, GAMPE andJo. HUMPHREY CAMPE, citizens of the United Statm, residing at Atlanta, in

the county of Fulton and State of Georgia,-

The object of this invention is to provide a combined envelop and blotter which may be used for inclos'ing and mailing circulars and which may be usedas an advertising blotter afterward. We accomplish this object by providing an ordinary piece of blotting paper with. an envelop front suitably.

fastened to said blotter at three edges and having an envelop flap ada ted to be foldedand tucked in between sai front and said blotter.

For the object above mentioned and for vother objects which will hereinafter a pear our invention consists of certain nove features, combinations and relations of parts, of which the herein described nove ty is'.

one of many possible embodiments.

While herein we have mentioned the minute details of our invention we do not limit ourselves to these, as the details of construction and. combination may begreatly varied without departing from-the spirit and'sc'ope of the inv ntion.

In the annexed drawin forming a part ofxthis specification and in which like referare front views of modifications.

ence characters refer to like parts throughout the several'views, and which are for illustrative purposes only, and therefore not drawn to an particular scale. 7

Figure 1 is a ront. plan view of the preferred form of our invention, with arts broken away, Fig. 2 is arear view 0 the same,,with parts broken away, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View, and Figs. 4. and 5 Referring more particularly to 1 to 3 the preferred form of ourjmvention comprises a sheet of blotting paper 1, and 2 a sheet of paper similar to the front portion of an ordinary enveloppasted, or otherwise fastened at its end edges, and its bottom edge as indicated at 'q, to the corresponding edges of said sheet of blotting paper, where- 'by is formed a pocket or envelop space between said sheets 1 "and 2. The sheet 2 is provided with an upwardly extending flap 5, which has a folding connection with said sheet 2. This folding connection may be perforated, asshown at 6, in Fig. 1,. or it may be slotted as shown in Fi 4. The flap 5 may be folded and'tucked nto the space between the sheets 1 and 2, and be thus adapted to hold in place circulars or other advertising material 7, as shown in Figs. 1

F i 5 shows a modified form of'construction in which the end and bottom edges of the sheets 1 and 2 are fastened together by means of rivets, or. other suitable fastening 7 The top of the sheet 1 of this modifica-v tion is not provided with a flap, but the upper edges of sheets 1 and 2 may be f'as-.

tened together b means of a wire clip 8, or any other suitable fastening, as shown. The face of the sheet 2 -may" be provided with .a space 9 for the name and address, and 10 indicates where the stamp should go on, and the remainder of the space may be used for advertising purposes, as shown.

The advantages ofour mvention are thought to be obvious. Circulars ma be placed between the sheets 1 and 2, an the jflap 5 folded in place to keep said circulars from falling out of the envelop, and the same sent through the mail. After the per- 1 son receivingthe envelop has noted the. contents of the circular he may'tear off the flap 5 and use the envelop as a blotter, the advertising, which is on the face of the envelop remamini before the user of the blotter until the otter is worn out or discarded. 1 Attention is called to the fact'that our "novelty may be very cheaply manufactured and will be durable in use, thus keepin the advertising matter before the user for a ong time.

Having thus described our invention what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patexit is I An envelop comprisin an absorbent back piece, and a correspon 1n separate nonabsorbent face piece, glue at its end and y bottom edges to the face of the back piece set our hands in presence of two subscribing with its end, back, and bottom edges flush .witnesses.

with those of the latter,'-and having an in- WILBUR EUGENE GAMPE. wardly foldable perforated retaininaflap at J O HUMPHREY CAMPE. 5 its upper side edge adapted to fold etween Witnesses:

the back and face pieces. M. G. PEE In testimony whereof we ha ve hereunto Panama PALMER.
